Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the relationship between export orientation (i.e. the participation) and productivity in Canadian food manufacturing, and determines the sources of productivity growth (i.e. technical efficiency, scale efficiency, and technical change). The relationship between productivity and export orientation was studied through the learning-by-exporting and the self-selection hypotheses. The results suggest that exporters have higher levels of productivity than non-exporters, and more productive plants self-select into export markets, but there is no evidence of learning-by-exporting. On the other hand, stochastic frontier analysis was used to decompose multifactor productivity into technical efficiency change, scale efficiency change, and technical change. The findings suggest there was a decline in productivity during the study period mostly driven by a decline in technical change over the study period. The industry experienced an improvement in technical efficiency and scale efficiency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Canadian food and agriculture sector is for the most part competitive and export-oriented: although challenges and opportunities vary significantly between regions, primary agriculture benefits from an abundance of natural resources and faces limited environmental constraints. Negative environmental impacts of agriculture relate mainly to local water pollution by agricultural nutrients. Productivity growth, resulting from innovation and structural change, has driven production and income growth without significantly increasing pressure on resource use. Nonetheless, the capacity to innovate is crucial to take advantage of the growing and changing demand for food and agricultural products at the global level.
Book Synopsis Impact of Advanced Technology Use on Firm Performance in the Canadian Food Processing Sector by : John R. Baldwin
Download or read book Impact of Advanced Technology Use on Firm Performance in the Canadian Food Processing Sector written by John R. Baldwin and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the evolution of industrial structure in the Canadian food processing sector and its relationship to technological change. It does so by examining the impact of adopting advanced manufacturing technologies, amongst them information and communication technologies (ICTs), on plant performance. This study utilizes a linked dataset combining advanced technology use data from a 1998 special survey with firm performance data derived from administrative records covering the period 1988-1997. The data file contains information on advanced technology use (by type of technology), plant characteristics (size, nationality, emphasis given to training, nnovativeness) and plant performance (growth in productivity and market share). The paper first examines the characteristics of firms that adopt advanced technologies. It then asks how the use of these technologies is related to growth in productivity and market share. Plants that adopted advanced technologies were larger and foreign controlled. They tended to be more innovative along a number of dimensions other than just their technological orientation. They were the ones that adopted a number of advanced business production processes that made use of advanced technologies. They were plants that developed a human resource strategy that focused on developing a skilled workforce and emphasized training. Plants that adopted more advanced technologies enjoyed superior productivity growth. Process control and network communications technologies are particularly important to productivity growth in the food-processing sector. Those plants that increased their relative productivity growth and used more advanced technologies saw their market share increase. Once technology use was taken into account, few of the other characteristics of plants that were related to technology use contributed to increased relative productivity growth -- except for the emphasis given to a human resource strategy that focused on the development of skilled labour and training. Similarly, apart from technology use, none of the plant characteristics that are related to the use of advanced technologies were related to the growth in market share.
Book Synopsis Trade Liberalization and Productivity Dynamics by : Alla Lileeva
Download or read book Trade Liberalization and Productivity Dynamics written by Alla Lileeva and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper investigates the productivity effects of the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement on Canadian manufacturing. It finds that Canadian tariff cuts increased exit rates among moderately productive non-exporting plants. This led to the reallocation of market share towards highly productive plants, which explains the aggregate productivity gains observed when Canadian tariffs were reduced. The U.S. tariff cuts led to the within-plant productivity gains in exporters and, especially, new entrants into the export market. Any lack of output responses and labor-shedding as a consequence of the FTA was experienced by non-exporting plants, while exporters captured the gains from the FTA.

Book excerpt: Food is a bigger employer in Canada than you may realize. In fact, food manufacturing is the largest manufacturing employer in Canada, responsible for 250,000 direct jobs. But that number pales in comparison to the food services industry, where an additional 1 million Canadians make their living. And with so many people dependent on Canadians eating well and eating out, changes in spending can mean big issues for jobs, hours, and the industries themselves. So what should Canadian Food Businesses expect in the coming year? Join Michael Burt, The Conference Board's Director of Industrial Economic Trends for a presentation and discussion of the economic outlook for Canada's Food Manufacturing and Food Services Industries. Canadian households will likely remain cautious in their spending in the coming year. Consumers may look to limit the amount of times they dine out or visit quick-service restaurants. Millennials are the only age group to increase the number of visits per capita to restaurants in 2014. Increased tourism will be significant source of growth for the food services industry to help offset softness in domestic demand. Consumer trends are also shaping the outlook for food manufacturing, noticeably in the meat products segment. Annual per-person meat consumption has declined since 1999 as meat prices have increased and Canadians have reduced the amount of red meat in their diets. Export growth is the one bright spot for this segment going forward. For export-oriented products such as seafood and grain and oilseed milling, the lower Canadian dollar is expected to boost growth. You won't want to miss this detailed look into the food sector, which includes expert analysis of how consumer trends will impact the food business in 2016 and beyond.

Book Synopsis Improving Productivity in Canada's Food Processing Sector Through Greater Scale by :
Download or read book Improving Productivity in Canada's Food Processing Sector Through Greater Scale written by and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to provide an economic analysis of the relationship between scale and productivity in Canada's food processing and its significance for Canadian public policy and management purposes. With the changing global agri-food environment and future demand opportunities, scale in food processing is one factor that allows participating Canadian firms to compete successfully in this environment. Large scale processing drives large scale demand for agricultural products, leads to growth of markets along the whole value chain and allows firms to satisfy both the domestic and export markets.

Download or read book OECD Food and Agricultural Reviews Innovation, Productivity and Sustainability in Food and Agriculture Main Findings from Country Reviews and Policy Lessons written by OECD and published by OECD Publishing. This book was released on 2019-10-03 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Markets that function well within a stable regulatory and policy environment are key to improving the productivity and sustainability of the food and agriculture sector. This report contains the main findings and policy lessons gained from a series of wide-ranging country reviews on how government policies can improve sectoral productivity and sustainability through their impact on innovation, structural change, natural resource use, and climate change. Improving the policy environment would require rolling back those policies that distort markets the most and retain farmers in uncompetitive and low-income activities, harm the environment, stifle innovation, slow structural and generational change, and weaken resilience.
